New Delhi, December 17: Terror suspect David Headley ensured ways to escape surveillance and was “very careful” about exchange of information with his accomplices either in his country or in Pakistan relying on traditional technique used by militants, US based think tank Stratfor has said.
He used a method known as electronic dead which facilitates easy exchange of messages without any transfer of emails from one person to another thus ruling out any chances of being tracked down.
“Headley also used a common militant communication method of creating messages and then saving them in the drafts folder of a Web-mail service rather than sending the message.
“The person creating such a message can then provide a colleague with the user name and password for the Web-mail account, which enables the second person to log on and read the communication in the draft folder without an e-mail having been sent.
